Hello. I started a 50 gallon tank roughly a year ago and added a dozen Buenos Aires Tetras to cycle the tank. I just fed a little and removed and replaced half the tank water every three to four days to keep the nitrogen out of the water. I added some plants and immersed a Chinese Evergreen in the water to help remove toxins while the bacteria was growing. I always used a water treatment and a bacteria starter with every water change. The Tetras have taken their time to reproduce, but now I have 18. This morning was one of three feedings per week and they were very enthusiastic. The fry are small, but pretty brave at feeding time. Attached is a photo of the "feeding frenzy".
